WinifredLouiseRiddle

Winifred Riddle Age 87, joined the Saints in Heaven, on Thursday, January 10, 2013. She was born October 15, 1925, in Panama, IL, the daughter of Henry and Ethel Frey. Five children continue her legacy: Carol Peters (Ann Arbor), David (Lansing, MI), Janis Denman (Falmouth, MI), Nancy (Ray) Slach (West Branch, IA), and Dan (Jane) Riddle (Ann Arbor). She is also survived by her sisters, Charlotte Schultz (Commerce Township), Ella (Floyd) Meeriman (Grand Ledge), and brother, Dale (Ann) Frey (Lathrup Village); fourteen grandchildren and fourteen great grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her siblings, Henry and Elizabeth, and in 1990, by her husband, Dean Riddle. After a successful career in accounting, Winifred retired from Herman Miller Research Corporation as their Manager of Finance and Personnel. Winifred and Dean moved to Grosse Pointe Farms, MI in 1949, and lived there until they relocated to Ann Arbor in 1976. She was steadfast in her faith in Christ, caring and compassionate, and always put others first. A devoted mother, grandma, and supergrandma, her family was her greatest joy. Unknown to most, she was a wonderful storyteller, who loved sharing memories of her life with three generations. She had no regrets, explaining that even the bad times in her life allowed her to enjoy the best parts. We will miss her every day and are blessed that she will always be in our hearts. A memorial service will be held at 11 am on Saturday, January 19, at Christ Our King Lutheran Church, Saline, MI. Cremation has taken place, and she will be interred in the Memorial Garden at the Grosse Pointe United Methodist Church. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Arbor Hospice, in appreciation for the compassionate care given to her and the family, or , Breast Cancer Research.
